Fixes found by two AI playtests of 0.2.0, which ran on playtester's new Strata driver.

  • The dusk path (#30):
    • The direction hint under NEXT now points at the snakes on the path. Before, it pointed at your door, and three of four testers never met the rope.
    • NEXT talks you through each snake: light the lamp, go closer, look steadily, and how many are left.
  • No more silent keys:
    • V, B and C say why they did nothing.
    • Tab opens the codex on the page that just opened.
    • H hides the HUD.
    • In short windows the text is smaller and keeps clear of the HUD.
    • The codex footers say where its sources are listed.
  • The dream (#32): it now begins with "You sleep, and dream." and is seen through a faint violet haze. Both testers who reached it had taken it for a broken clock.
  • V steps out to just behind the body, so you see yourself at once.
  • Under the hood: Strata v0.6.0 (#29), and saves written by 0.2.0 are now tested to load (#31).

Saves from 0.1.x and 0.2.0 load.

This is still a pre-release: the working translations of Gauḍapāda's Kārikā await review (#28). No person has played this build by hand. The AI playtests and the other checks are in docs/playtests/0.2.1.

Downloads: Windows x64 (.zip) and Linux x64 (.tar.gz), each with a .sha256. You can also play in a browser at https://atman.play.danielstephenson.dev.
